Customer questions
Do you have different line-up options?
Our line-up usually includes, 2 saxophones, 2 trumpets, 2 trombones, sousaphone and drums
We can offer a Bass12 trio of sax, bass and drums to provide music earlier in the day or event in preparation for the main band.
Both groups come with vocals
What if my timings change after I've booked you?
We always try our best to be flexible to help ensure your event runs as smoothly as possible. If timings change slightly in the run up to the event just let us know.
Can you provide an iPod/DJ service before and between your sets?
Yes, let us know if you'd like background music between our sets, we charge £50 per hour for this service before or after our performance.
How much time do you need to set up?
We usually set up about 1 to 1.5 hours before the performance time.
Can you roam around while you perform?
Yes - we either perform acoustically or with microphones attached to our instruments so we can move around freely. Our drummer can use a marching snare drum.
Can I pick the songs you play from the set list?
Our set lists are crafted from countless performances and learning what works best to ensure guests dance and have an amazing time. You are welcome to ask for our full repertoire and suggest some favourites - we will then do what we can to fit these in!
Is all of the equipment (e.g. PA & lighting) included in your quote?
Unless you request we perform acoustically, PA and lighting is included in our quote. Let us know if your venue can already provide a PA system with at least 8xlr inputs and 'phantom power'.
Can you learn song requests before the event?
Absolutely! If a song you would like to be performed is not in our standard repertoire list, Bass12 HQ can use their special Bass12 formula to write an arrangement and have it ready for your event for a fee of £60
